Hi @tanto259 , as I see there are two opened pull requests ("Split course 1 into course 1 and course 2" (since 15 July), "Add SPDX ID for Lab Materials" (since 8 Feb)) of cobol-programming-cource for several months. I'm afraid that my already merge -t pull request (Syntax highlighting code snippets #274) will cause merge conflicts. I would even implement some more improvements that are a bit more complicated than this, but they would cause more merge conflicts. What do you think these two open pull requests will be merged in the foreseeable future? BR: János

Hi @vargajb,

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the project!

Regarding the two currently open PR, the "Split course 1 into course 1 and course 2" will be merged within the next two months. It is part of the currently ongoing Open Mainframe Project Mentorship Program, which aims to introduce a student into open source contributions.

Among the things we planned for the Mentorship Program is also updating Zowe into using the new team configuration features and possibly adding JSON and XML processing into Course 2.

The SPDX ID may require more time since I need to get the thoughts of other in the team - but hopefully we can reach a conclusion there soon.
